Sahagin is a vanilla 2/2 Merfolk for three mana with no abilities — it does nothing beyond occupying a slot on the board. Bulk rate for a reason: almost every tribe and strategy has cheaper or more capable options at this slot.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Sahagin is legal across every major format, but that legality is academic — a 2/2 for three with no text never makes a competitive list in Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer, where the card-efficiency bar is far too high. In Standard it's similarly unplayable; even limited formats rarely celebrate a vanilla three-drop at this size. Commander is the one format where budget tribal Merfolk brews sometimes scrape the bottom of the curve, but Sahagin still loses the slot to lords, synergy pieces, or anything that replaces itself.

Price Context
Current price
$0.12 bulk tier
At $0.12, Sahagin sits firmly in bulk territory — you're paying for cardboard, not utility. That price is stable precisely because demand is functionally zero; don't expect it to move in either direction.
